Liverpool's Aquilani loaned to Juventus

Liverpool's Italian international midfielder Alberto Aquilani has completed a free loan move to Juventus for a season with an option to buy, the Serie A club said overnight.

Agreement was reached after a prolonged medical visit carried out over two days given all the injuries which hampered the player last season.

The 26-year-old failed to make any impact at Anfield since his 20-million-pound ($35 million) move from Roma last year and Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson was willing to let him return home to rediscover his form.

He was signed by former Reds manager Rafael Benitez as a replacement for Xabi Alonso but his first season on Merseyside was hampered by injuries.

Should they decide to purchase the player Juventus have agreed to pay 16 million euros, payable over three years, the Italian club said.

You have no doubt been hearing a lot about the Paris Agreement and know that it pertains to climate change, but are too embarrassed at this stage to ask for an overall explanation of what it's all about.
